2024 Olympics: The Biggest Stars Competing in the Games

Trinity Rodman is very familiar with the spotlight.

In addition to playing for the USWNT, the soccer star—who is competing in the Paris Olympics as a part of Team USA—comes from sports royalty.

That's right, Trinity is the daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, who played alongside basketball legends such as Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen during the Chicago Bulls' championship reign in the '90s.

“With my dad, I’m so thankful," Trinity told the O.C. Register in 2021. "He was an amazing athlete and I got those genes from him."

However, the 22-year-old is "excited to be known as Trinity Rodman and not just Dennis Rodman’s daughter." That's why she resonated with soccer.

“When you’re young, you try a lot of sports," Trinity explained. "Soccer to me, it felt like home, I felt so comfortable playing and I think I noticed at really young age."

While Trinity may not have the closest relationship with Dennis, she does believe he "changed the game" when it came to fashion.
